I don’t understand why cops don’t take out a someone who’s trying to get away in a motor vehicle. To me it’s like someone spraying bullets in the air.

You advocate the police "spraying even more bullets in the air" as a solution? And you don't understand why raising the danger to the public is a good solution?

After seeing some of these chases, there are points where they could be run off the road or possibly taken out but a gun. To let them drive recklessly through public streets is the greater danger to the public. The driver literally has a weapon of mass destruction.

No, he was not advocating spraying bullets. He was saying that letting a fleeing felon run in a vehicle is “like spraying bullets”.

Good grief. Check your reading again.

I think the cops ought to take them out...

If they were running down a crowded street swinging a machete’ the cops would shoot them.

Driving a car 100MPH down streets while trying to evade cops puts innocents at risk.

SHOOT THEM LIKE A RABID DOG
